One way is to convert the file to other formats.
Here are suggestions for how to do this:

Also look at this example :
Quote:
You need to create an entry in the /etc/printcap file, something like this:
hplj5n|lp1:\
:rm=hostname:\
:rp=printername:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5n:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lpd.log:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/filter:
The first line is the printer name you can use either hplj5n or lp1 with 'lpr -Pname'.
The rest of the lines are as follows:
rm - remote machine, this is typically the same as the printer name with network printers other wise it's the machine name of the system the printer is connected to.
rp - remote printer, this is typically the same as the machine name
with network printers other wise it would the print name such as
'hplj5n' if the printer is attached to a remote system.
sd - the spool directory where print jobs are spooled
lf - the log file
if - the interface filter, used to convert formatted/unformatted
text (ASCII, TEX DIV, POSTSCRIPT, PCL, etc.) and image data (BMP, PPM, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc.) to POSTSCRIPT or PCL format.
